Month: September 2002

Reading time: 1 min No not me (of course). Congrats to the winner and all that. Right can we all move on now? The duck of the draw Note: I’m not peeved that I didn’t win, or that I wasn’t shortlisted. Honest. No seriously I’m not. I AM peeved that I didn’t win the £1000. My motives are purely financial, trust me.

Reading time: 1 min I’m an organised kinda guy, I have a folder on my desktop called Blogstuff into which I put links to articles I want to mention or investigate further. Every now and then (more then than now) I go through it and clear out the stuff I’ve used and the stuff that, on a second read, doesn’t appeal anymore – that’s actually a side issue, the shortening of my attention span these days with so much information available and clamouring for my attention. So, without further ado, here are a few bits-n-bobs for ya: The Laws of Applause Clapping has long been the bond between audiences and performers, but is it losing its meaning? “The English also gave birth to the …

Reading time: 1 min Been meaning to link to this for a while. I dare you not to lose several hours in the bridge-builder game (on the left, scroll down a bit when you get there). Yeah, but is it art? .com

Reading time: 1 min Behind the times? Me? Never! OK, so I’m a week (ok several) behind on this one, but I must say I’m loving Google News.

OK, off to gym soon, then home to watch some footie, although I am intrigued by the new ‘soap’ on the Beeb River City, but only because it is part filmed in Dumbarton, my home town.

Reading time: 1 min Prompted by my, currently only, blog twin I give you The Blog Twinning Project. Go on, be my twin, the amount of respect, kudos and generally good feeling you will receive will be untold!

Reading time: 1 min Morning!No better way to start the day than to have a giggle. Head over to Blogatelle and enjoy On Flying.“Blue water Navy truism: There are more planes in the ocean than there are submarines in the sky.”

Reading time: 1 min Just thisI rant and ramble a lot on here and I fear it only fair (do I love my alliterations or what) that this will get worse over the coming weeks. As ever, anything I find interesting on my web traversing I will share with you, but I will be somewhat preoccupied with whether or not I’ll have a job at the end of next month. Sorry I’m funny that way, I’m sure you understand. Ohh and can I claim ‘google-foxing’ as mine? Did I say it first? Google-foxing: repeating search referrals on your site – and hence propagating the likelihood of them reappearing as referrers – on purpose.

Reading time: 1 min Tune of the MomentUpdated: Queens of the Stone Age – No One Knows This was looping on MTV2 every time I flicked it on last week and it’s embedded itself in my brain. Ohh yeah and Dave Grohl on drums really does kick the llama’s ass!
